Krispy Kreme lenders

Investment banker Credit Suisse First Boston is among a group of new lenders offering financially strapped Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. $225 million in credit, the snack maker said Monday.

Silver Point Finance LLC and Wells Fargo Foothill Inc. also kicked in financing to help Krispy Kreme repay about $90 million the company had borrowed under a $150 million credit line extended by its long-standing lenders. Krispy Kreme's lenders this year had twice agreed to postpone a deadline by which the company would be in default on its credit line.
